,"Hey, snap out of it, you have a baby to take care of now."

I looked up at Kendrick who was holding his baby, Tyranny Rebecca. Pretty name. He rocked her back and forth. I had Jamie Junior lodged between my arms. I was tired. The truth is last night when Jamie left, which was about 11:30, I didn't sleep. I was to afraid that Erin would try to come back. Jamie and I sat in my bed talking about anything. He weirdly made me laugh. Yes, the bad boy made me laugh. There was a moment when I just wanted to see him laugh, because God damnit he is gorgeous when he smiles.

,"So do you."

I snarled back. He laughed a little. I looked to the far end of the classroom hoping to see those piercing grey eyes would meet mine, but they weren't.

,"Where's Jamie?"

I asked softly. Kendrick looked around.

,"He must still be in the office."

I narrowed my eyebrows. Jamie's in the office?

,"What? Why?"

Kendrick shrugged a bit.

,"He got in a fight with Erin, Jacky, and Luke."

I narrowed my eyebrows. Erin, he must've pushed him to the edge or something. I already knew Jamie. He wouldn't just pick a fight with it someone for his own amusement. They had to of had done something to him.

,"I've gotta go."

I handed Kendrick, Junior then stood up.

,"Can I be excused?"

The teacher shot me an ugly glare.

,"If you don't excuse me I swear to God I'll piss in your coffee cup."

She widened her eyes.

,"Go!"

She showed me away and I ran out of the classroom. I walked towards the office and through the window in the door I could see Jamie. I opened the door and walked up to him.

,"What happened?"

I demanded an answer. He looked up to me and the feelings he had in his eyes shocked me. His eyes were ten shades darker and angry. He has raging inside, like a forest fire. I looked down to his hands and saw him gripping the chair. He was angry, except angry wasn't enough to explain how he was feeling. I sat in the chair beside him. I wasn't scared of this, of him. I saw his body trembling in anger. I wanted to help him.

,"Jamie, talk to me."

He growled under his breath. He looked almost as if he was angry at himself.

,"You know I won't judge you."

He looked away. My hands ran up to his. I grabbed his hand and it felt electrifying. I had never touched something and felt this amount of pleasure. I wonder if he felt this too. God, I hope he did. His eyes slowly floated to me. They fixated on my features and I swear I felt like a deer in headlights.

,"They were talking-"

He stopped abruptly almost too angry to say the rest. His breathing hitched and his voice got caught in his throat.

,"They wanted to have their way with you."

He said gritting his teeth. Oh my god. Erin started this, he wants me, he can't do this. Jamie was just protecting me. The bad boy, protecting me. I froze. Why was all the attention focused on me now? All these other girls in school swooning over Erin but he wants me. If only those girls understood or saw what a monster he really was. Jamie looked me in the eyes. I didn't know what to say. It was all just so much. I stood up in shock. I felt the tears starting to weld up in the back of my eyes. Jamie stood up with me. I couldn't handle this. I spun around and ran. I needed to get away from it all.

,"IRIS!"

Jamie called for me but I kept running. I heard rapid footsteps behind me and that still didn't stop me. I turned the corner and ran straight into the girls bathroom. I collapsed to the floor. Tears streaming down my face, makeup smeared on my skin, lips red and irritated, hair frizzy and untamed from running, eyes as red as wine, I was a mess.

,"Iris."

I heard the door open and a voice called my name breathlessly.  I knew it was him, he ran after me and I didn't think he would, but he did. It just proves that he's there for people when they need someone. I guess I just needed him.

,"Iris, are you okay?"

He choked out not knowing what to say.

,"I'm fine."

I whimpered out. He breathed out in fustration and it sounded almost as if he was mad. He walked towards me but my back was pointed towards him.

,"No, no you're not."

He said before placing his hand on my shoulder. I instantly got the chills.

,"You don't want me to touch you?"

He asked softly referring to my chills.

,"Yes."

I said clearly. I surprised him and I surprised myself. I was eager, eager for something I didn't even know I wanted.

,"Yes what?"

He said in a soft, husky tone. I looked back at him with red eyes.

,"Touch me."

I had never seen his eyes light up so bright. I didn't know he wanted it too. I looked down in pure embarrassment. My cheeks flushed a deep shade of red. Did he really have this sort of control over me? I knew Jamie was attractive, I think everyone knew that, but I wasn't just attracted to his looks. I was attracted to the fact that he cared about me enough to fight over me.

,"Come here."

He said before grabbing me from the back of my waist and pulling me into his chest. My back was so small compared to him. His arms slithered around my small frame, making me feel small. He was now sitting on the floor with me between his legs.

,"Don't cry."

He whispered. I took a deep breath but the thought of Erin and the other two bastards "having their way with me" just made me sick to my stomach.  I let the tears fall silently. My hands laid on top of his.

,"Jamie?"

I croaked out.

,"Yes?"

I gulped hard, trying to get rid of the huge lump I had in my throat.

,"Am I safe?"
